Calling on the Duke

Bronwyn and I are both still struggling with a delightful sinus/chest infection that I've been fighting now for 10 days, and which I generously passed on to her during that period. I was bedridden for two days last weekend and still wake up feeling gross. Ironic way to spend our two-week break when I haven't had a sick day this entire year. Regardless, we've made it through Christmas and head off tonight to York. We haven't heard from the Grand Old Duke yet, but are expecting he'll be making contact at some point during our visit there, surely.

Whether he does or not, we certainly will be seeing good friends Michael and Jenny, whom we will be staying with. We've heard so much about the beautiful scenery around York, so plan to drag them out to at least march them up to the top of the hill, then march them down again. Or similar. Ahem. We're a bit uncertain about internet access while we're away, so are not expecting to update again this... year, I guess.  : )   We'll be home on the 1st though so expect us to be broadcasting again relatively soon.
